Re: Stus-List GFCI Outlet w/ USB?

2015-09-23 Thread PME via CnC-List
My old 29mk1 was setup with one GFCI protecting all outlets.  Have you verified 
that the head outlet is
 separate by tripping the GFCI and seeing if there is still power? 


On another note,  they now have combination USB-120VAC outlets.  Does anyone 
know if it comes in a GFCI version?

Re: Stus-List Spreader lights

I have been real happy at times hanging one of these lights in the cockpits.  
They have a built-in hanger which can be used all over the boat. I store them 
hanging on the inside hand rail. They are cheap and often free (with coupon).

Stus-List SOS light flare replacement

2015-08-26 Thread PME via CnC-List
Hi,

Is anyone familiar with the Sirius Signal SOS Distress light?   The claim is 
that it complies with USCG requirements replacing flares, and that it does not 
expire.  I just read about it from an Active Captain post which includes a 
Defender link for those interested:

I would be interested of anyones experience with these.  Thanks.

Re: Stus-List Heaving-to - sail ratios for higher winds

2015-08-14 Thread PME via CnC-List
Fred and Andy, 

I have only attempted to hove to once with the LF38 and I did not pay much 
attention since I was more interested in lunch at the time.   

On my 29mk1, I played around quite a bit.  I found that I could get the 29 to 
properly heave to with many tweaks  but  mostly by rolling in the headsail 
some.  Only then would I see the noted slick.  Even then, eventually with some 
gust, wave, or roll I would find the 29 requiring additional tweaking or 
maintaining forward motion.   From what I read this is true with most fin 
keels, boats that turn on a dime, are not as stable to hove to and start 
forereaching.   I think I read that in Lin  and Larry Pardey’s book on storm 
tactics.   Below is a quote on forereaching from John Kretschmer from his 
recent book which I have enjoyed reading.  I do agree that heaving to with 
forward motion is also comfortable.   I hope to better master both techniques. 


"Forereaching is my preferred tactic for coping with severe weather. In some 
ways forereaching is similar to heaving-to except that the boat is moving 
forward, its natural motion, and not crabbing to leeward. By forereaching you 
trade the slick caused by heaving-to for the stability caused by having some 
forward motion."

Kretschmer, John (2013-09-27). Sailing a Serious Ocean: Sailboats, Storms, 
Stories and Lessons Learned from 30 Years at Sea (Kindle Locations 2956-2959). 
McGraw-Hill Education. Kindle Edition.


Here is a quote from Lin & Larry Pardey

"Figure 1 shows how generally to hold a boat hove-to in those storm-generated 
seas. Your boat may require different sail or helm adjustments from the four 
illustrated. The most important factor is to make sure your boat is stopped and 
drifting down-wind behind its slick. If you find you are forereaching, try 
tying the tiller more to leeward."

Re: Stus-List Electronics upgrade-> SPX-5 with Seatalk and SeatalkNG

2015-08-13 Thread PME via CnC-List
Mike,

I think I read the same Ray documentation which seemed to show that one could 
connect Seatalk and SeatalkNG devices
via the SPX-5 controller.   I installed my i40 speed system with Seatalk 
connector wired to the Seatalk ports on the SPX-5.   It powers the i40 system,
and the speed display works fine.

I am planning on connecting the SPX-5 to my Raymarine e7d via SeatalkNG, and I 
was hoping the speed data would
be sent to the e7d too.  But it sounds like this does not work?   Bummer!   I 
guess I will need to use a Seatalk to SeatalknNG converter.

Re: Stus-List Yanmar engine mounts replacement

2015-08-12 Thread PME via CnC-List
Patrick,

I recently installed a rebuilt Yanmar 3QM30 in a LF38.  Replacing the two 
transmission mounts should be 
easier with the transmission and v-drive mounted for leverage.  With the mount 
nuts free, you should be able to pry 
up the end of the v-drive and block it from underneath or you could lift the 
v-drive up using a block and tackle.   


See some of my installation photos at the end of the this page: 

http://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/search/label/EngineWork 


I suggest getting new stainless bolts, washers, and nylon locknuts.  Installing 
the mounting nuts and washers
is the real challenge.   If you drop a nut or washer, it is lost, so get a few 
extra just incase.   I used masking tape to 
hold the nut and washer on a box wrench which I then inserted into the tiny 
access holes of the support struts.   
With this arrangement, was able to rather easily bolt the mounts in place.  I 
tied a string on the box wrench, so 
if I dropped the wrench, it was quickly fished out.

As I said it would be easier to do with the v-drive for leverage, but you could 
likely lift it with a 2x4 and block it. 
I basically walked the engine in place this way.

They quickly replied saying that they have shipped out a new rail mount kit

It does not hurt to send them an email (sa...@kuumaproducts.com

Stus-List Landfall Upgrades

2015-07-29 Thread PME via CnC-List
It is nice to hear about LF38 update  of others.  Congratulations.

 I am glad to hear of someone using a SPX-5 autopilot on a Landfall 38.I 
installed a SPX-5 on a C&C 29-1 and after 2.5 years it started having problems. 
  I removed it, send to Raymarine for out of warrantee repair, then sold my C&C 
29.   Raymarine replaced components in the course computer and upgraded the 
firmware at no charge.  Kudos to them for great service!   At the time I was 
deciding between a B&G or Raymarine chart plotter for the Landfall 38.  I 
happily purchased a Raymarine e7D, Raymarine fish finder depth transducer, and 
a Raymarine combination speed/temp/log transducer.I installed the SPX-5 
wheel autopilot on the Landfall 38 and I feel it works just as well as it did 
on the 29 (maybe even better since the 29 was so tender). Installing a 
Raymarine Radar is a future plan.

Stus-List Landfall 38 restoration project

2015-07-29 Thread PME via CnC-List
Speaking of Fools, I just started documenting all of the little and big 
projects that I have done over the last 16 months since purchasing my “LF38 
fixer upper”.  For 14 months, the boat was hauled out, and I drove over an hour 
each way to the marina, nearly every weekend, working on some project.  During 
the week days, I spent too much time planning, preparing, and just plan 
thinking about boat projects.   She is now in her slip, and I am enjoying the 
sailing, but for the longest time I wondered if we were ever going to get to to 
this point.

I am using a blog for the online documentation.  I started it a few weeks ago, 
back dating the entries of various projects.  It is still incomplete, a bit 
green, and I’m sure spotted with grammatical errors.  

The easiest way to navigate the site is to use the “Projects” link under Pages 
on the right side of the main page.

Re: Stus-List Best Engine? -> hull speed and power required

2015-07-14 Thread PME via CnC-List
Hi,

There is a nice web calculator for calculating hull speed, a displacement 
corrected hull speed (Gerr), and horsepower dependence on speed.

It shows for the LF38, a Gerr hull speed of 7.22 Knots and required 35.5 HP to 
reach 100% of max hull speed.   It is interesting to note that 90% of hull 
speed is expected to be achieved with under 24 HP.

Re: Stus-List Chartplotter choice when you want to simply add AIS to the display?

2015-06-25 Thread PME via CnC-List

I too have the GX2150 VHF w/ AIS.  I have the Standard Horizon remote mic 
mounted by the helm, the mic also has an AIS display.  I recently installed a 
Raymarine e7d and will soon be connecting the GX2150 to it for AIS & DSC 
position overlays.

You can now get the GX2200 VHF w/ AIS+GPS for under $300(plus an additional $40 
rebate until august).   At these prices one would be foolish to purchase a 
separate AIS receiver and then deal with antenna connections.

Re: Stus-List landfall 39 rudder bearing

2015-06-22 Thread PME via CnC-List
Hi,

On a LF38, the rudder basically hangs from the rudder nut-collar.  The bearing 
is a thrush bearing which sandwiches between nut-collar and the bolted-in base 
plate.There is only one bearing.

I made a new thrush bearing from PTFE-Filled Delrin Acetal Resin Sheet 
(McMaster-Carr item #8578K411 $19).   I used the old one as a template, cut it 
out using a jigsaw, and rounded it off with a sander.  Since the flat surface 
is the bearing surface, a good cut edge is cosmetic only.  Here is a photo 
before sanding: 
https://www.flickr.com/photos/dreuge/16983084193/in/album-72157652333214269/ 


But you really want to see Wally's page on the rudder thrust bearing 
replacement for details: 
http://www.wbryant.com/StellaBoat/Projects/steering/bearing/sole/replace.htm

I should say that the "night and day" improvement to the rudder steering came 
from dropping the rudder and cleaning out the dry old crusted grease and 
re-greasing the shaft(I use superlube).  Before, the rudder would chatter when 
quickly turned, now it glides like a Canadian hockey player on ice.

Re: Stus-List Engine Troubles > Injector Rebuild

2015-06-22 Thread PME via CnC-List

I found that some Yanmar parts are readily available at Tractor Supply stores.  
For example,  using the Yanmar part number (724770-53100) in the Hoye Tractor 
search field I found the following 3QM30 injectors cross listed to IA-4770 for 
$118. See http://www.hoyetractor.com/PROD/search/IA-4770.htm 


I saved over $600 buying 3 new injector pre-combustion chambers. Mastry Yanmar 
wanted nearly $300 per cylinder, I got them for about $60 per cylinder at Hoye.

I did not buy new injectors, I brought my injector pump and injectors to a 
Diesel shop.  They rebuilt the pump for about $200, and tested the injectors(no 
charge).  The injectors were fine.   The place I went to was called Shiver 
Diesel Injection just outside of Tallahassee, and since we have a diesel 
injection shop out at no-where-ville, I’m guessing there’s a similar place near 
you.

Re: Stus-List bedding of windows-> butyl and more

Hi Rick,

I was about to write that McMaster-Carr has a very good selection of butyl tape 
at great prices, but it appears they don’t offer it any more.  I am usually a 
big fan of McMaster-Carr as they usually have most anything, in great quality, 
and reasonable priced.   For example, the little dremel sanding drums cost $3 
for a bag of 25.  I used to pay twice that for just a handful at a box store.

My other go to supplier is Grainger.  They have two nice choices for butyl tape:

[1] 2”W, 1/8”T, 30’L black butyl tape ($16)

Re: Stus-List Are original LF38 thru hulls in contact with coring?

2015-05-20 Thread PME via CnC-List
Patrick,

I recently replaced 8 thru-hulls, 8 seacocks, and 2 transducers on my LF38.  
Yes, Wally’s site is a great resource.   I reamed back the coring and filled 
with thickened epoxy.   While the hull is cored with balsa, the region where 
the thru-hulls are is cored with marine plywood.  Thankfully, removing the old 
thru-hulls showed dry coring, so I guess they were originally sealed well.  I 
found two thru-hulls with threads red and very pitted, and they were likely 
close to failing. Removing the thru-hulls are easy with the correct tool, 
so I suggest that you at least check all of them.But with wet decaying 
backing plates, I would not wait...

I have not gotten around to write anything up yet, but I do have a bunch of 
photos tossed online:

Hi,

Here is my understanding of the difference between SeaTow and TowBoatUS.   
SeaTow operators derive their income from selling memberships and do not 
receive extra income from towing a SeaTow member.   TowBoatUS operators do not 
receive any income from membership, the only receive a contracted amount from 
the company based on towing a member.   Of course, both make good money towing 
non-members.   

Now I don’t know if it is true, but I have heard that the difference has lead 
to longer waiting times for SeaTow members.

Re: Stus-List Marine AC options for LF38

2015-04-29 Thread PME via CnC-List
Hi,

I wanted to give an update on what I have decided to order.   First off, it 
turns out that installation location eliminates several of the AC units from 
consideration. On my LF38, this location is a cabinet between the starboard 
settee and the head(similar to were several LF38 owners have units).  This 
location has plenty of depth and height, but limited width. Taken this into 
account, these were the units I found that met these considerations:

[1] Dometic/Cruisair vector-turbo/stowaway-turbo
[2] Mermaid M16
[3] Flagship FM16R

While I liked the Dometic/Cruisair unit, it’s base price is $1k more than the 
others and for the DYI person, there is a reduction to the warranty for not 
having the unit dealer installed(2yrs -> 1yr).  With regards to Mermaid, I have 
found that there are those who love it and those who hate it.  I remembered 
that Defender sold these units, and so I sent them an email asking if they can 
still obtain Mermaid products.  Here is Defender’s reply, ”Unfortunately 
Defender is no longer selling Mermaid AC units. Due to some customer service 
issues we had, we did server ties with that particular company."  I went to the 
Mermaid website which lists an internet price, but when I called for more 
information, I was told that the price increased  back in February and that 
their "IT guy” has not gotten around to update the website.  Adding all this 
up, I feel I would be asking for trouble going with Mermaid.   

The good news is that from the get go, I have been impressed with Flagship 
Marine.  They have been very responsive to inquires and accommodating to my 
needs, and they have factory direct pricing and a plethora of information on 
their website.   So I have decided to go with the Flagship FM16R w/ heat 
option, 115V, top discharge, with remote enclosure option to further reduce the 
width.The only hard thing to swallow is the nearly $250 for FL taxes and 
shipping.  The specs are listed below.  

• Flagship Marine   FM16R w/ heat & digital thermostat
• load:  11.3A/18.1A  cool/heat
• 16,500 BTU/hr
• size: 21.5x14.6x13.5,  77lbs
• warranty: 5yr/1yr  parts/labor
• refrigerant: NU22
• made in the USA
• base price: $1,709+$78(remote option)
• website: http://www.flagshipmarine.com/selfcontained.html

Robert,

I sounds like your set up is similar to what existed.   Except I have a large 
duct going to the v-berth which splits in the back of a closed off area of the 
hanging locker with one connection going to a small round vent in the v-birth 
and the other going to a much larger rectangular vent for the main salon.  I 
don’t have any duct going to the aft cabin which eventually I would like to 
rectify.My thruhull, seacock, and strainer are located under the galley 
sink.Do you have a scoop on your intake?

My quick measurements indicate that the 16,00BTU/hr units would fit, but taking 
note of your setup, I will carefully measure the available space again this 
weekend.


Thanks for your input.

Paul

Dennis,

Thanks for  recommendation.   I just noticed that Cruisar is made by Dometic 
who also makes units under the Marine Air and the Dometic names.It looks 
like the Marine Air Vector Turbo is the same as the Crusair Stowaway Turbo.   
They look very interesting but I have not been able to find prices yet online.

Stus-List Marine AC options for LF38

2015-04-23 Thread PME via CnC-List
Dear Listers,

I am looking to install an air conditioner unit in my LF38.   It turns out that 
my boat had a unit as the output ducts and  return vent grill are still in 
place.  I did not feel the need to install one on my old 29mk1, and so I have 
no experience on which vendors/units are reliable.   I have search the web for 
reviews, and found a smidgen of positive and negative reviews for all the top 
vendors.  Below is a list of what I have narrowed down so far.   The prices are 
all within a few $100 of each other, but I have little idea on the difference 
in the qualities.   On the other hand, the warranties vary from 1-5 yrs

I would greatly appreciate any input or advise regarding which units to 
consider or which units to avoid.


Domestic Marine Air EnviroComfort 16,000BTU
Webasto FCF 16,000BTU
MarinAire   Integra MSBA16K2 16,00BTU
Flagship Marine   FM16R 16,500BTU
Mermaid M16 16,500BTU


yours very truly,

Paul Eugenio

Re: Stus-List Window Replacement

2015-04-22 Thread PME via CnC-List
Hi,

The procedure outlined by Don Casey in a Sail magazine is excellent. 

To add to Casey’s article, I traced the old port and cut the material slightly 
larger with a sabersaw.   I then sanded
the edges down to final size with an orbital sander.  This worked easily and 
produced nice results.

 I also found great prices for acrylic/lexan at eStreet Plastic. I used 3M VHB 
tape and Dow 795 both which I purchased 
from McMaster-Carr, and I sprayed the under-side, unmasked area with Krylon 
Fusion.

Here is a link to the article.

The idea was to coat the bottom of outer and inner mast shell for added

explained to me that “everyone” does it, but from the responses so far, it

Re: Stus-List Alternator Output Question

> bank, but can't find any explanation as to why. 

Hi Edd, 

Here is my understanding.  The ACR will combine a second battery while there is 
a voltage present on the first battery.  The alternator's voltage regulator  
will shut off the charging when the first battery is full.  The second battery 
may still need some charging.   Therefore it is better to have the alternator 
charge  the battery which is being drained the most, i.e. the house battery.

On the same note, most starters draw about 150Amps for less than 10 seconds.  
This amounts to 150A*10s*1hr/3600s = 0.4 A*hr which  should be restored within 
a minute of charging.

Stus-List stepping mast 38 Landfall

2015-03-02 Thread PME via CnC-List
Hi,


I will be stepping my mast within the next week or two.  One of the folks at my 
marina asked if I was going to slather the bottom of the mast with Dolfinite.  
I have never heard of this stuff before.   I looked into it and it looks 
reasonable.  What do other apply or use when stepping their mast?   I already 
have the silver dollar I found under the mast back in place


Thanks for any insight.

Thanks for the link. Great read as most of Maine Sail’s articles are.  I am 
rearranging the batteries in my engine compartment, and I did not think much 
about the wet cell battery orientation: port-starboard or stern-bow.   As Maine 
Sail shows, wet cell batteries should be aligned port-starboard on sailboats.

While on my 29 I had all batteries aligned port-starboard, on the LF38 I have 
one wet cell aligned stern-bow which I will look into correcting.

Re: Stus-List Hand rail replacement teak or Stainless ?

2015-02-16 Thread PME via CnC-List
I made new teak handrails for my C&C29mk1 following the instructions in Don 
Casey’s book.  It was fairly easy, took only an afternoon, and the cost was 
about $100 for a pair(mostly cost of teak).  But I needed access to a table 
saw, planar, and router which I do not own.

The handrails (outside and inside) are held together by long machine screws 
with nuts in the inside rails just behind the bungs.  The screw heads are in 
the outside rails behind the bungs. I removed the rails, over drilled, 
wetted, and filled with thickened epoxy.  I used the old rails to transfer the 
bolt holes to the new rails(but one could use the inside rails too), and later 
used the rails to transfer the holes to the deck.  Don Casey has a trick of 
scalloping the handrails to aid in bedding.  It appears to have worked well for 
me, up until I sold my 29 (+4 yrs) I did not have any leaks via the rails.

Re: Stus-List Window Installation - 1985 41

2015-02-16 Thread PME via CnC-List
Hi,

Nice discussion.  I am looking to replace my window lenses soon too(likely go 
w/ 1/4” grey Lexan).  I like the idea of using 3M’s VHB tape along with an 
adhesive/sealant.  I have read somewhere (I lost the link) of folks using VHB 
with black 3M 4000/UV with great results.   I have used 4000/UV in the past for 
deck hardware and hatch rebedding, and I like it’s ease of use.Has anyone 
use 4000/UV on lexan/plexi windows?  


I found the link below which provides  a nice description of various marine 
sealants .  It specifically lists 4000/UV as well suited for use with plastics.

Re: Stus-List Landfall 38 lift muffler

2015-02-13 Thread PME via CnC-List
Hi Rick,

Thanks for the response.   I made some quick measurements again and read in 
detail Wally’s description for his 38 LF.   I ended up ordering a side in/ top 
out vernalift(1500026) along with a 90 deg elbow to attach to the top.   I plan 
to install it just aft and port of the engine,  rerouting the main scupper hose 
on that side to provide extra space.

Stus-List Landfall 38 lift muffler

2015-02-09 Thread PME via CnC-List
Hi,

I just rebuilt the 3QM30 which I received when I purchased Johanna Rose.  The 
previous owner had the engine removed and dismantled, and I received the engine 
as a bare block with boxes of rusty parts.   It was a real basket case.This 
weekend I managed to shoehorn the engine back in, and now I am at the point 
where I need to install a lift muffler.   

It looks like there was one in a small space on the port side of the engine as 
there is a bulkhead hole the size of an exhaust hose.  But his space looks too 
small for a vernalift-like waterlock muffler(and a little high relative to the 
exhaust elbow).I don’t have the original muffler, so I need to purchase a 
new one.  Has any LF38 owners purchased a replacement muffler?  I would be 
interested in hearing what you choose and your configuration.  

I hope to be back afloat soon. It’s been slow working only on weekends...


Thanks for any insight,

Stus-List 3QM30 injector lines

2015-01-11 Thread PME via CnC-List
I am looking to replace the injector lines on a Yanmar 3QM30.  The old ones I 
received with my “basket case” of engine parts are in ruff shape, rusty, dirty 
and in one, blocked up.  I know these are high pressure lines, but I am utterly 
shocked by what Yanmar is asking for new ones(see the prices from TOAD Marine 
below).  My guess is that Yanmar no longer makes these.  

inject. pipe 1  121370-59810 $157.70 
inject. pipe 2  121370-59820 $109.96
inject. pipe 3  121370-59830 $820.85 

Now, nobody in their right mind would pay these prices.  Does anyone have a 
good source for these(or equivalent straight) injector lines?   

Thanks for any insight.

Re: Stus-List Delrin top rudder bushing

2014-09-30 Thread PME via CnC-List
Hi,

I replaced my rudder bushing with one I made from material ordered from 
McMaster-Carr.   I cut the bushing out of the material using a sabre saw and 
then cleaned up the edges with a Dremel sanding drum.   As I understand, only 
the planar surfaces are important.   The material cost was $20 from which one 
could make a few bushings.  I love McMaster-Carr almost as much as I love 
Wally's site(which maybe where I got the idea to order material from 
McMaster-Carr).


Here's the material information:

Ultra-Wear-Resistant PTFE-Filled Delrin® Acetal Resin

1/8" 6" x 6"  8578K411  $19.27

Hi,


The teak and holly sole on my LF38 rests on several ~4' long black painted 
square tubes.  I have two short (~2' long) but otherwise identical to the other 
sole supports which were given to me in a box with other components.   I have 
tried to locate where these short supports go, but I cannot find the location 
where they belong.   Can a LF38 owners enlighten me?

Stus-List Replacement fuel sender for Landfall 38

2014-09-15 Thread PME via CnC-List
Hi,

Does anyone recognize the fuel sender in the photo at the link below?   This is 
the sender which was in the fuel tank on my 38LF.  I don't think it is the 
original as it appears the tank has previously been replaced.   I have the fuel 
tank at home all cleaned out and nicely painted(no smiley yet).  I don't have a 
decent photo of the fuel gauge(it may be original), and I am hoping on 
purchasing a new sender before going down to the boat.   I am thinking about 
replacing the old unit with a Moeller reed switch (MOE 03576510 15in tank 
depth) which comes calibrated to 33-240 Ohms(is this a standard?).   I tried 
measuring the resistance of the old unit but it is toast.  

Any input on the type of old sender or on the reliability of the new reed 
switch sender is greatly welcomed.

Re: Stus-List gel coat colour

2014-09-12 Thread PME via CnC-List
Hi,


The gelcoat on my old 1979 29-1 was an identical match to oyster white gelcoat 
I purchased at Jamestown Distributors.  I mixed MEKP with the gelcoat in small 
batches using a 10ml and a 1ml syringe(i.e. 10 ml of gelcoat to 0.1 ml of 
MEKP).   This oyster white color is the same as the Awlgrip oyster white so you 
may be able to find an Awlgrip color card locally to check the match.

Re: Stus-List Re-Bedding / Filling & Drilling w_Epoxy

2014-08-08 Thread PME via CnC-List
Kevin,

The epoxy cartridges are nice and easy to use, but to do the job right one 
should wet out the hole with un-thickened epoxy before filling with thickened 
epoxy.  Also, don't just fill an existing bolt hole.  Over dill the hole and 
ream back any coring.  

That said, I prefer to mix the epoxy myself.  First un-thickened for wetting 
out, then adding some colloidal silica to thicken for the filling via a 
syringe.   For epoxy, I use either West System 105/205 or East System 1032/833. 
 They are near identical except East costs 1/3 less.

Re: Stus-List Replacing Rub Rail - Landfall 35 Now Landfall 38 rub rail

2014-08-06 Thread PME via CnC-List
Hi,

I was a bit surprised to hear people discuss about a white rub rail on the 
Landfall 38.  I assumed they were all teak as I have on my LF38.  That is, I 
have an iconic LF teak toe rail which bolts through the deck along with a 
separate teak rub rail (~ 1-1/2" x 5/8" ) which is screwed onto the bottom 
outside of the toe rail. 

I have just looked online, and I now notice other LF38 with the white rub 
rails, but I don't see any with a teak rub rail.   Does anyone know if the teak 
rub rail was a factory option or was it likely a previous owner upgrade?

Subject: Stus-List Replacing Rub Rail - Landfall 35
Message-ID: 
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I have a Landfall 38 and I replaced a short section of my rub rail a long time 
ago--it rubbed up against a piling real seriously.  It wasn't that big a 
problem but it was just a short length (maybe 3 feet long) and it was near the 
anchor well where I had good access to bolts.  If you look closely at the 
underside of the hull-to-deck joint there are both thru bolts (the permanent 
fastening) and screws (probably temporary fastening during construction).  This 
means you will have to completely remove the teak toe rail to get at the heads 
of the screws for their removal.  (You would have to remove and reinstall the 
toe rail anyway.)

Even though the part of the rub rail that sticks out beyond the hull is not 
structural or will not affect leak tight integrity, I think if you cut it off 
and put something else over it, it will look cheap.  Also, I wouldn't want to 
add a bunch of screw holes into my hull (to mount a new rub rail over the old) 
just at the structural joint between the deck and the hull.

I can tell you that the rub rail is made from white EPDM and paint does not 
stick well to EPDM.  I'd bet you can scrape it off rather easily--you could 
also use a varnish remover to make it come off easier but be careful about this 
touching the hull.

I think that before you try some Rube Goldberg fix like putting another rub 
rail over the outside, I would try very hard to clean the paint off.  If the 
paint doesn't come off, I think I would try replacing the rub rail by removing 
the entire toe rail and all the screws.  Then, try replace just a few feet at a 
time until you are all around the perimeter of the boat.  There is probably 
enough flex in the outer part of the deck to do this.  It would be a big job 
and it would be best done out of the water.

Re: Stus-List small hole in front of LF38 rudder tube

2014-07-09 Thread PME via CnC-List
Hi Wally,


Thanks for your input.  I actually looked over your site to see if Stella Blue 
had the stud.  Originally I did not see any sign of one, but after reading your 
reply I came across (http://www.wbryant.com/weblogs/bV_1109/bv_205.JPG) which 
clearly shows the stud.   I did not know about the early rudder design change, 
but you make a good point about the current rudder not needing the stud.
Below is a link to an old photo of my 29-1 which shows the stud close to the 
rudder, but more importantly, it shows how the rudder is notched forward to fit 
into the hull whereas the rudder on the LF38 (the second link ), is notch-free. 
  In the later photo, the rudder has been lowered a bit and usually sits up 
closer to the hull. 

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99269361/CnC29-stud.tiff
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99269361/LF38-studless.jpg

I wish I could now just plug the hole and go sailing, but I have much more to 
do.

I just completed replacing 9 thruhulls and seacocks(your way).  I am rebuilding 
the Yanmar 3QM30, and I have pulled the fuel tank, prop, shaft, & cutlass 
bearing, and I have dropped the mast to replace the ever-common broken mast 
step.   I have a huge list of to-dos, but I hope to have her back out sailing 
by September.

Stus-List small hole in front of LF38 rudder tube

2014-07-07 Thread PME via CnC-List
Hi,

I have come across a small pencil-sized hole in my LF38 hull located a few 
inches forward of the rudder tube.  I am not certain of the intent of this 
hole, but I do recall that on my old 29-1 that it had a short stainless rod 
coming out of the hull from about the same location(a line diverter?).  My 
guess is that the LF38 had a similar rod which is now missing.   I am thinking 
of filling the hole.   Does anyone know what this hole actually is and is there 
any reason why it should not be filled?
   
Thanks for any insight.

Stus-List hull number distinction between 38 and Landfall 38

2014-06-21 Thread PME via CnC-List
Hi,

When I first purchased my LF38 I was a bit surprised with the CCY hull number 
as I thought I read somewhere that the Landfalls were build in Canada.   I know 
that the LF38 shares the same hull as the 38, but what in the hull id 
distinguishes a LF38 from a 38?   I have always assumed that my hull number 88 
was that out of the LF38's only.   

I am guessing that all LF38's are build in the USA and all 38’s are built in 
Canada and as such the later would have ZCC hull id.   is this correct?   


Here is my LF38 hull id: CCY38088M81D

CCY:C&C built in Rhode Island
38: model length (but FL title list 37’)
088:hull # 088
M:  model year format
81: model year 1981
D:  built in November

Re: Stus-List Edson Wheel Brake & Relining Brakes

2014-05-22 Thread PME via CnC-List
Rob,

I just removed the Edson brakes and steering cables/chain from my steering 
system this past Sunday.   And it was near exactly as described by Graham.  The 
hardest part was removing the seized flathead screws.  With a little PB 
Blaster, some perseverance, and a lot of hammer-twisting on an old hand impact 
driver (like the one at  http://tinyurl.com/q823uja ) I was able to get the 
screws out.   I will surely use never-seize putting the screws back in.  This 
little impact driver has saved me on several occasions.

The removal of the brakes took just a few minutes at this point.  To add to 
Graham's comments, there is a special-sized washer on the brake shaft toward 
the knob side of the last brake pad.  This washer is critical in making the 
brakes work.   It turns out this washer was missing on my brake system, and 
that my brake pads are fine.  Try not to lose this washer or be very cautious 
when installing a replacement.  I called Edson trying to buy the little washer, 
but they insisted on sending a few washers out to me for free.  As many have 
suggested, stuff rags down the pedestal, but I plan to tie dental floss on this 
bugger to aid in its installation too. 

As for brake replacements, the kits go for about $77 online(Defender).  I have 
read online of folks relining these pads.   Edson even sells a relining kit but 
it costs about the same ($80 Jamestown Distributers). 

Following the success of other, I planned on relining the pads myself.  As it 
looks I will only need the washer, but if the pads do need replacing in the 
future I surely reline them myself.  It Looks like fun and for less than $10 
one could reline several sets(help out a buddy).   For completeness I included 
material list and Edson's instructions below.  




Materials
- McMaster-Carr  brake liner metal-free  3/16"T   1-1/4"W   
6175K812$3.91/ft
http://www.mcmaster.com/#brake-lining/=s2sqod
- Loctite Black Max Adhesive (or epoxy)

Brake Lining Replacement Instructions (from Edson EB355_689BrakeInstall.PDF)
1. Remove old brake pads. Clean legs with solvent.
2. Bond new pads to brake legs with generous amounts of
supplied adhesive or two-part epoxy.
3. Clamp brake legs around a pipe approximately 1 1/2" in
diameter while the adhesive cures so that the new pads conform
to the shape of the legs.
4. After adhesive has cured, trim brake pads along edges of
brake leges with a band saw or hack saw.
5. Reinstall brake components as described inside and check
operation before installing cotter pin.
6. If brake does not clamp properly, check that washer has been
installed between shaft shoulder and A743 starboard brake leg.

Stus-List Yanmar 3QM30 thermostat for converted system

2014-05-21 Thread PME via CnC-List
Hi,

I am converting Yanmar 3QM30 raw water cooling system into a fresh water 
cooling system with a Sen-Dure heat exchanger.  The current thermostat is 
Yanmar part number 105582-49200.The fresh water thermostat listed for the 
3QM30F looks like a completely different size thermostat.Does anyone know 
the Yanmar part number for a fresh water (i.e. higher temperature) thermostat 
which will fit a raw water 3QM30 system?

Thanks for any help.
